E-Sim Card Recommendations

Can anyone recommend any good Thai e-sim card providers or deals once I'm in Thailand? Thanks in advance 🙏

Answer summary

When looking for e-sim card providers in Thailand, several recommendations stand out. AIS offers a variety of plans, including a year-long option for 2200 baht and is noted for having strong network coverage. Other users have mentioned BNEsim, which offers data plans that don't expire, making it appealing for frequent travelers. If you're considering setting up an e-sim before arriving, options are available, and feedback suggests that regardless of the provider, e-sims generally work well in Thailand.

I have used BNEsim FG or past couple of years - they have plans where you can buy data that doesn't expire so as a regular traveller it's been great

You can set up your e sim before you travel to Thailand. They are all pretty good. Google e sim and get one

It depends mostly of the location, so talk to locals about coverage in that location.

If you visit any AIS store, you can get a year long plan for 2200 baht or shorter plans if you prefer. They can give you a physical sim or esim, whichever you prefer.
